If people are giving you shit simply because you dislike Naomi and Amelia as characters and not because you're using misogynistic slurs to express how much you hate them, then they're idiots. Not liking every female character =/= being a misogynist. Now, someone who hated every single female character who came along I'd probably side-eye a bit, but that doesn't sound like what you're doing. I like both characters, personally, but people are going to react to character's differently and both have traits that I could understand someone not liking. Also, people have different taste.

Also, re:SPN, I think people get especially defensive of female characters because of reactions of certain parts of the fanbase and how incredibly vocal they are about how much they hate a lot of the female characters on the show. Especially if there's any hint said characters might be a love interest. There were people tweeting the actress who kissed Dean a few episode's back with hate before the episode even aired because she said in an interview that she thought her character would probably be okay with having a relationship with Dean in the future. That is just... crazy. Those people obviously aren't all of the fandom or even the majority, I'd say, but they're pretty damn vocal, and that reaction to some of the female characters has contributed to some of them being written off, which is kind of shitty. The writer's aren't always the best when it comes to handling female characters, lbr, (forever bitter about the way Anna was written off) but certain parts of the fandom definitely aren't helping things, either.
